Who Would You Be Chords

   
Intro:  D, A, D, Bm7, A, G

D
We were sitting 'round the table
Bm7                  D
At the Tuesday poker game
        G                D
Solvin' all the problems of the world
Bm7                      G
Tryin' to draw an inside straight
D
When Jimmy posed the question
Bm7                    D
As he played a pair of kings
              G            D
"If you could be anyone in this whole world
A (stop)           D G D
Who would you be"

Chorus:

D                             A
Would you be Elvis shakin' up Memphis
Bm7                        G
Makin' all the young girls scream
G                                  D
Would you make a speech that would change the world
Bm7                G
Like Martin Luther King
G          D                A
Go down in history like Abe Lincoln
Bm7                      G
'Cause you set a country free
G            D                 Bm7   
If you could be anyone in this whole world
G        A (stop)          
Tell me, who would you be

D, A, D, Bm7, A, G

(Same progression as above)

Hank said "I'd be a cowboy
Someone like John Wayne"
Donny said, "Hey pilgrim
Blow that cigar smoke the other way"
Said he'd make a million dollars
Pitchin' in the major leagues
Then he stared straight into Paul's bloodshot eyes
And said, "Who would you be"

Chorus:

Would you be John Lennon, can you imagine
Givin' hope with just a song
Would you be the Babe pointin' that bat
Saying, "This one's going long"
Maybe Moses partin' the waters
Saying, "Children, follow me"
If you could be anyone in this whole world
Tell me, who would you be

G
Well, I knew those boys would roll their eyes
D
When they heard what I had to say
G                                Bm7
But I shuffled the cards, said, "Dueces wild"
A (stop)           G
And I told them anyway

Chorus:

I'd be a father who had all the answers
To every question my kids had
I'd earn every word on that coffee cup
That said, "World's Greatest Dad"
Be a perfect husband to that woman
Who means everything to me
If I could be anyone in this whole world
That's who I'd be

D, A, D, Bm7, A, G


Yeah, that's who I'd be

Outro: D, A, D, Bm7, A, G
